Hall of Childrey Down Manor-house, Berks., 1857. Interior of '...the remains of an eminent manor-house, belonging to the manor of Rampanes...in its last stage of occupation - engraved from a sketch taken almost immediately before its demolition. This includes a portion of the great hall of the mansion: its height was about forty feet, it had a gallery for minstrels, and a window of noble proportions; the walls have also been pierced with four other handsome but smaller windows...Besides the spacious hall fireplace, there were enriched chimneypieces in other apartments of the mansion, which denoted it to have been a fine specimen of English domestic architecture of the sixteenth century - the period at which the dining-parlour, or banqueting-room, and retiring-rooms, were added to the great hall or principal feature of the mansion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
